Dog Portage Basket

I grew up with a Golden Lab and she LOVED to go for rides in the car. She would hang her head out of the window and by the end of the ride there would be a stream of slobber down the side of car. We have posted hacks on readers that have found ways to bring a dog along for a bike ride and reader Jesse sent along the following text and picture.

Here's our guy Phineas, riding to a July 4th BBQ in Brooklyn. It's a $15 wicker basket from Target, and I cut holes in the bottom to slide bungie cords through. The sides of the basket are tall enough to dissuade him from jumping out, and there's enough room in there for him to curl up with a bone.
